Default Carb to airbox gasket O360-A1A
I took the airbox and carb off for mx. There is a gasket between the airbox and carb and I cannot find a part no. or a replacement gasket. I realize many people do not use a gasket here but I would like to. Any ideas ?
The carb is a MA4-5 10-3878.


Thanks

Pete W

Any Car auto parts store will have gasket on a sheet, make you own, I do.

I am not at home with my parts books but Van's Aircraft sells a gasket for $1.20. That is the carb to sump gasket. The parts books that I have will not show the FAB to carb. I am not aware of a ready made gasket that you can go purchase for the FAB to CARB so hopefully someone will post a part number and vendor that sells one.

Like you said, most people including me do not use a gasket between the FAB and carb.

Default gasket
IIRC this is an airframe manufacturers part. I used to use a piper PA28 part number. PA28 140 for 0 320 and PA 28 180 or 181 for 0 360
